A nurse is reinforcing teaching about risk factors for preeclampsia with a group of clients who are pregnant. Which of the following risk factors should the nurse include in the teaching?

A.

Maternal age of 30 years.

B.

Prepregnancy BMI of 19.

C.

Third pregnancy.

D.

Chronic hypertension.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

Choice A rationale

 

A maternal age of 30 years is not a significant risk factor for preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is more common in very young mothers or those over the age of 35.

 

Choice B rationale

 

A prepregnancy BMI of 19 is within the normal range and is not considered a risk factor for preeclampsia, which is more commonly associated with higher BMI or obesity.

 

Choice C rationale

 

Being in the third pregnancy (multiparity) is not a strong risk factor for preeclampsia. The risk factors are more closely related to the individual's health conditions and first pregnancies.

 

Choice D rationale

 

Chronic hypertension is a well-known risk factor for preeclampsia as it indicates pre-existing cardiovascular issues that can predispose one to developing preeclampsia during preg

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Starting each feeding with the same breast can lead to engorgement and decreased milk supply in the other breast.

Choice B rationale

Exclusive breastfeeding is recommended for the first six months. Providing a formula supplement can interfere with milk supply and breastfeeding success.

Choice C rationale

Allowing the newborn to empty the first breast ensures they receive hindmilk, which is richer in fat and essential for growth.

Choice D rationale

Newborns do not need additional water as breast milk or formula provides all necessary hydration.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Choice A rationale

Increasing the frequency of feedings from the affected nipple may aggravate nipple soreness, as it doesn't allow the area to recover and heal properly between feedings.

Choice B rationale

Exposing the affected nipple to the air between feedings can help it to dry and heal, reducing soreness. Air exposure can help prevent bacterial growth and keep the nipple area healthy.

Choice C rationale

Applying vitamin E oil to the affected nipple before each feeding is not recommended as it can make the nipple slippery, affecting the baby's latch, and it might not be safe if ingested by the baby.

Choice D rationale

Washing the affected nipple with soap and water before each feeding can strip the natural oils from the skin, leading to further dryness and irritation, which can increase soreness.
